+1 DEI should just be abolished all together LockedIn Bezos
+1 This is actually easier to answer than the previous posts imply. Create a map of where the fanciest private schools are. You are done. They are where the "poshness" is, and the posh want to live near them. StreetToStreets

+1 my referral was an AN1 or 2 I believe - maybe they take us straight to super (im delusional) wallstreethardo1232

+1 Data confirms the perception Principal in IB - ECM
+1 lol def not ibibib999
+1 Yes you can definitely do this plan. Just don’t expect the teller thing to be “transferrable” skill-set when recruiting for IB, you’ll need to lean on other stuff you pickup outside of that obviously.  Works at Bank of America Merrill Lynch

+1 Santander > Lazard 🤣 Prospect in Non-profit
+1 Yes. They are so bad that both strategic and sponsor sellers explictly ask them not be included in processes. Sellside bankers also often exclude them. Their level of Aholness is a uniquely high even within PE. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Associate 2 Coverage- Quarter zip, pen, and a coffee mug Associate 2 in IB - Cov

+1 Ask him to split it 50/50. Jk. He’ll cover it man. No need to offer it either or stress it. He’s a partner so he wines and dines clients all the time. Associate 2 in IB - Cov

+1 Wells Fargo 2x transaction volume in M&A over Jefferies, but Jefferies led in M&A fees due to higher volume of smaller deals. Wells has a much better NYC office needless to say. Associate 1 in IB-M&A

+1 I’m not sure where you are in terms of life with spouse, house, kids, etc. but if the opportunity is there I’d say do it. You’ll grow more professionally and personally doing something like that on your own. EdMc513
